MCD By-Elections: BJP Questions AAP’s Candidate List — Here’s the Full Story

New Delhi: The Delhi BJP has raised serious objections to the list of candidates announced by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) by-elections. BJP spokesperson Praveen Shankar Kapoor alleged that AAP has violated norms and displayed hypocrisy in its candidate selection.
